OLD MACHINE:  in base mail slice/dir 'tar ycf /PLACE YOUR RESTRICTED WEB DIR 
HERE/MAIL.bz2*

NEW MACHINE:  in base mail slice/dir "fetch http://YOUR URL TO PROTECTED DIR 
HERE/Mail.bz2 && tar yxf MAIL.bz2"

All mail moves, no problems.  FETCH is faster than RSYNC/RCP (IME), just 
remember to immediately remove the bz2 file from the old server unless it is 
decommissioned immediately to alleviate confusion later.  This method 
alleviates/negates problems for many parties setting up rsync/rcp/scp on the 
ORI host...
